~/.nanorc should be moved/renamed to ~/.nano/config, automatically like 
.nano_history was. If XDG is used then automatically move ~/.nano/ to 
$XDG_DATA_HOME/nano/ and move the nanorc/config file to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nano/. 
And if renamed to "config", then maybe move/rename (not automatic) /etc/nanorc 
to /etc/nano/config to match the new style.
